If you're hosting the Christmas festivities this year, chances are you're going to need to find extra sleeping space for a number of excited brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews or grand children over the holiday period.
Help is at hand from Dreams and Wishes...with a few tips that may help prepare your home for the impending onslaught....

One﻿...plan in advance where the kids are going to sleep...consider all rooms int he house, not just the bedrooms...the older kids may prefer to 'camp out' downstairs away from the little ones.

absolutely beautiful things

Two...Have a kid's room clear out...store unecessary toys, clothes and accessories elsewhere for a few days to allow for extra sleep space.

There's only 40 sleeps till Christmas...!
Yet again the festivities are creeping up on me and I'm still clearing up after Halloween.

Still...even though I'm not putting up decorations just yet...it's given me an excuse to find some ideas for the tree this year....well, Santa is going to need somewhere to put all the presents isn't he...!!?

I know many people who swoon at the fabrics, wallpapers and soft furnishings created by the talented team at Designer's Guild.
I have a special love of the kid's ranges...no surprises there then..!
Here's why we love them sooo much....

It's been a big week for the little ones....first we had Halloween on Monday...and it was lovely to see all the effort that had gone into the kid's costumes...made me think of the 'trick or treat' night scenes in E.T.....!
And this weekend is Bonfire Night!

I always think of it as a Winter BBQ﻿...hot-dogs, warming soups, sticky toffee apples and marshmallows...!

Our local authority run Fireworks display is celebrates it's 40th year this weekend...not bad, I say...

It's not too late to check with your local council for a display near you...and be sure to check out these food ideas to take with you.

About Me

Hello, I'm Diana, welcome to my blog, primarily dedicated to child-related interior design, with the occasional random detour into whatever takes my fancy at the time. After many years as a UK police officer I'm now realising my long-term dream of becoming an interior designer, and developing a presence amongst the icons of the design blogosphere. It's been quite a journey to get this far and I'm hoping for your company on the road ahead.
